'The Swan Dress Murders' by Millie Ravensworth is the fourth in the Cozy Craft Mystery Series. In this story Penny and Izzy are invited to the wedding of an old school friend, but when the wedding cake maker is found dead they must investigate lest suspicion fall on one of their group.
They've also been tasked with making a spectacular dress for one of the guests. Penny has a difficult decision to make regarding her plus one. After a year of procrastination, can she finally decide which of her two potential beau's to ask?
I feel I've got to know the characters well by now and enjoy spending a few hours with them trying to solve a crime. That's the strength of such a well written series - it keeps me coming back for more.
Millie Ravensworth has perfected the art of combining mystery with humour and character development. There are some very funny moments, as well as some so very touching and heartfelt.
We get to delve into the characters' past this time, as well as see them deal with present day relationships. As they investigate their old schoolfriend's murder, we find out more about Penny and Izzy. The act of dressmaking allows them time to think and it is often from the most incongruous snippet of information gleaned while sewing that they find a solution. I loved it.
I was given this Arc to review.
